Home Remedies for Cracked Heels

7. Epsom Salt

If you have cracked heels, it’s important to take extra care to keep your heels well moisturized. You can do this simply with an Epsom salt or a sea salt foot soak. It will also help improve circulation.

Mix one-half cup of Epsom salt in a foot tub filled with warm water.

Soak your feet in this solution for 10 minutes.

Scrub your feet with a pumice stone and again soak in the foot soak for 10 minutes.

Pat your feet dry and apply some foot cream or petroleum jelly to lock in the moisture

For best results, put on a pair of socks to prevent the added moisture from evaporating.

8. Bananas

Ripe bananas are one of the cheapest home remedies for cracked and dry heels, thanks to their moisturizing properties.

Mash one ripe banana into a smooth paste. Clean your feet thoroughly and apply the banana paste on your heels.

Let it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes so that your skin can absorb the natural nourishment. Wash your feet gently with some warm water and then soak your feet in cold water for 5 to 10 minutes.

I went to a foot doctor a few months ago with heels that were so cracked she said if I had come in when they were fresh she would have stitched them. She told me to get 100% African Shea butter.you can buy it at Rainbow blossom but it is pricey. I ordered it online at Cleopatras Choice for $12.00 a pound. My heels were crack free for the first time in years within 2-3 weeks. It’s amazing! I have tried everything for years and this is the first success I have had.

Vaseline/Patrolleium Jelly does not work for me. If anything, its makes my cracked feet more irritable. I’ve used a pumice stone and moisturizing lotion for two years now. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I found soaking my feet in warm bathwater with a little bit of head and shoulders helps loosen some of the dead skin. Love to ideas, thinking about trying the warm water and lemon juice thing. If there’s anything more you’d like to give me let me know. Thanks.

I tried everything for years with no help. Finally I tried zinc oxide with great results. One can find it over the counter at any pharmacy. Once I started experiencing good results my husband mentioned that it’s what he uses on his cow’s hooves too. Maybe he could have mentioned this a few years ago, to save me a few years of aggravation and pain. Anyway, zinc oxide is also found in Balmex baby butt ointment. That’s what I started with, then switched over to the pure stuff. Either will work. I hope this helps someone else who has suffered as much as I have.

Waxes and heavy oils actually smother the skin cells causing them to die instead of moisturising your heels and so you need to keep exfoliating the dead skin and the crack will never heal completely. Hydrogenated oils have been heated to very high temperatures, destroying their medicinal and healing properties. Use cold pressed avocado oil, or grapeseed oil, they are easily absorbed into you skin, are very moisturisising and are highly beneficial packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids.. omega rich and within a week or two your cracks will be gone.

I was suffering from cracking heels for a long time. But applying this lemon tips I came out this problem and now I don’t feel like hesitation. Before this I was having hard time to fast recovering..really thanxxxx

Hi everyone I always have had heel crack problems.Recently someone shared a home remedy formula that worked for me so I thought it would be a good idea to share it so others benefit from it too. Hope so… The formula is: 2 spoons of pure vaseline 1 table spoon of olive oil (organic) 1 table spoon of honey as well organic 1 yolk of an organic egg Mix them well and keep it on the fridge Apply on your heel any time after shower or night time before going to bed What helped a bit too was as well loosing some weight Extra kg apply extra presure on your heels and that makes them crack Hope it works for you as it worked for me

I have had dry heels for 10 years I use a pumice stone to keep them in check. All of these remedies sound very interesting and I’m going to try the olive oil right now! I will come back in a couple days and post how it went.
